TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to communications technologies, and in particular, to a processing method and device for obtaining synchronization.

BACKGROUND

In the prior art, in order to increase a peak rate of a user equipment (abbreviated as UE), a concept of carrier aggregation (abbreviated as CA) is introduced in a further evolution (such as LTE-Advanced, abbreviated as LTE-A) of the technology of long term evolution (abbreviated as LTE), when the UE needs to aggregate data transmitted by multiple carriers, an evolved base station (abbreviated as eNB) may allocate multiple serving cells or component carriers (abbreviated as CC) for the UE, where each CC may correspond to one serving cell. Specifically, a CC may act as a primary CC (abbreviated as PCC), and a cell where the PCC is located may be called a primary cell (abbreviated as PCell). Other CCs may act as secondary CCs (abbreviated as SCC), and cells where the SCCs are located may be called secondary cells (abbreviated as SCell). Generally, when the UE applies carrier aggregation, in order not to excessively increase times of UE's blind detection on a physical downlink control channel (abbreviated as PDCCH), on the PCell, blind detection needs to be performed on PDCCH scheduling information of a common search space (abbreviated as CSS) and a dedicated search space (abbreviated as DSS), while on the SCells, blind detection only needs to be performed on the PDCCH scheduling information of the CSS. Regarding messages such as paging messages and broadcasting messages that need to be sent through PDCCH scheduling in the SCells, the UE cannot obtain the messages from the CSSs of its own SCells, but instead, obtains the messages by using a dedicated radio link control (abbreviated as RLC) message.

The inventor finds that the prior art at least has the following problem: when the UE performs a contention-based random access channel (abbreviated as RACH) on the SCells, if all RACH procedures are implemented on the SCells, the UE needs to monitor the CSSs of the SCells to obtain scheduling information of random access response messages of the SCells, thereby inevitably increasing times of blind detection and a false alarm probability.

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more comprehensible, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a processing method for obtaining synchronization according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method according to this embodiment includes:

Step 101: A UE selects a Preamble on a first SCell, and reports information of the preamble to a base station by using a current PCell or a second SCell of the UE.

In this embodiment, when the UE is triggered to perform a contention-based RACH (Random Access Channel) on the first SCell, the UE may select the preamble on the first SCell, and report the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE. Specifically, the information of the preamble includes an identity of the preamble.

Step 102: The UE receives scheduling information of a random access response message or scheduling information of a conflict indication message from a physical downlink control channel (abbreviated as PDCCH) of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identity (C-RNTI) of the UE, where the random access response message and the conflict indication message are delivered by the base station.

In this embodiment, after the UE reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the information of the preamble and the UE, when the UE sends the preamble to the base station by using the first SCell, the base station may identify the UE corresponding to the preamble by using the corresponding relationship, and may perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the random access response message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, and the UE may receive the scheduling information of the random access response message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the cell-radio network temporary identity (abbreviated as C-RNTI) of the UE.

Alternatively, after the UE reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the information of the preamble and the UE, and may also detect whether a conflict occurs between the information of the preamble selected by the UE on the first SCell and information of a preamble selected by another UE, and when a conflict occurs, the base station may perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the conflict indication message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, and the UE may receive the scheduling information of the conflict indication message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE.

The radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE used by the base station may include a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE, or a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE and a random access-radio network temporary identity (abbreviated as RA-RNTI) corresponding to the PRACH resource used when the UE sends the preamble.

Step 103: The UE receives the random access response message or the conflict indication message from a physical downlink shared channel (abbreviated as PDSCH) according to the scheduling information of the random access response message or the scheduling information of the conflict indication message, where the conflict indication message is used to indicate that a conflict occurs between the information of the preamble selected by the UE and the information of the preamble selected by the another UE.

In this embodiment, the UE selects a preamble on the first SCell, reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, receives the scheduling information of the random access response message or the scheduling information of the conflict indication message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE, and then receives the random access response message or the conflict indication message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information of the random access response message or the scheduling information of the conflict indication message. In this way, the defect in the prior art is addressed: when the UE performs a contention-based RACH on SCells, if all RACH procedures are implemented on the SCells, then the UE needs to monitor the CSSs of the SCells to obtain the scheduling information of the random access response messages or the scheduling information of the conflict indication messages of the SCells, thereby inevitably increasing times of blind detection and a false alarm probability.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a processing method for obtaining synchronization according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method according to this embodiment includes:

Step 201: A UE selects a preamble and a physical random access channel (abbreviated as PRACH) resource on a first SCell, and reports information of the preamble to a base station by using a current PCell or a second SCell of the UE.

Specifically, the information of the PRACH resource includes a number of the PRACH resource, where the number of the PRACH resource includes a time domain number of the PRACH resource and a frequency domain number of the PRACH resource.

Step 202: The UE sends the preamble to the base station by using the PRACH resource of the first SCell.

Step 203: The UE receives scheduling information of a random access response message delivered by the base station from a PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a C-RNTI of the UE.

In this embodiment, after the UE reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the information of the preamble and the UE, when the UE sends the preamble to the base station by using the PRACH resource of the first SCell, the base station may identify the UE corresponding to the preamble by using the corresponding relationship, and may perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the random access response message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, and the UE may receive the scheduling information of the random access response message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE.

In addition, the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE used by the base station may include a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE, or a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE and an RA-RNTI corresponding to the PRACH resource used when the UE sends the preamble.

Step 204: The UE receives the random access response message from a PDSCH according to the scheduling information.

Step 205: The UE performs TA adjustment according to a timing advance (Timing Advance, abbreviated as TA) value indicated in the random access response message.

Step 206: The UE reports a message of successfully obtaining the TA value to the base station.

In this embodiment, the UE selects a preamble and a PRACH resource on the first SCell, reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, sends the preamble to the base station by using the PRACH resource of the first SCell, receives the scheduling information of the random access response message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE, receives the random access response message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information of the random access response message, performs TA adjustment according to the TA value indicated in the random access response message, and finally reports the message of successfully obtaining the TA value to the base station. In this way, the defect in the prior art is addressed: when the UE performs a contention-based RACH on SCells, if all RACH procedures are implemented on the SCells, the UE needs to monitor the CSSs of the SCells to obtain the scheduling information of the random access response messages of the SCells, thereby inevitably increasing times of blind detection and a false alarm probability.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a processing method for obtaining synchronization according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method according to this embodiment includes:

Step 301: A UE selects a preamble and a PRACH resource on a first SCell, and reports information of the preamble and information of the PRACH resource to a base station by using a current PCell or a second SCell of the UE.

Specifically, the information of the PRACH resource includes a number of the PRACH resource, where the number of the PRACH resource includes a time domain number of the PRACH resource and a frequency domain number of the PRACH resource.

Step 302: The UE receives scheduling information of a conflict indication message delivered by the base station from a PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a C-RNTI of the UE.

In this embodiment, after the UE reports the information of the preamble and the information of the PRACH resource to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the information of the preamble and the UE, and may also detect whether conflicts occur between the information of the preamble selected by the UE on the first SCell and information of a preamble selected by another UE, and between the information of the PRACH resource selected by the UE on the first SCell and information of a PRACH resource selected by the another UE, and when conflicts occur, the base station may perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the conflict indication message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, and the UE may receive the scheduling information of the conflict indication message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE.

In addition, the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE used by the base station may include a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE, or a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE and an RA-RNTI corresponding to the PRACH resource used when the UE sends the preamble.

When a conflict only occurs between the information of the preambles whereas no conflict occurs between the information of the PRACH resources, or when a conflict only occurs between the information of the PRACH resources whereas no conflict occurs between the information of the preambles, the base station may determine that no conflict occurs at the UE; and after receiving the preamble which is sent by the UE by using the PRACH resource of the first SCell, the base station may identify the UE corresponding to the preamble by using the corresponding relationship, perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the random access response message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the corresponding PDCCH. The UE may receive the scheduling information of the random access response message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell or the second SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE.

Step 303: The UE receives the conflict indication message from a PDSCH according to the scheduling information of the conflict indication message. The conflict indication message is used to indicate that conflicts occur between the information of the preamble selected by the UE and the information of the preamble selected by another UE, and between the information of the PRACH resource selected by the UE and the information of the PRACH resource selected by the another UE.

Step 304: The UE re-selects a preamble and/or a PRACH resource according to the conflict indication message.

In this embodiment, after the UE reports information of the re-selected preamble, or the information of the re-selected preamble and information of the re-selected PRACH resource to the base station, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the preamble and the UE. If the base station detects that no conflict occurs between the information of the preamble selected by the UE and the information of the preamble selected by the another UE, or the base station detects that no conflict occurs between the information of the preamble selected by the UE and the information of the preamble selected by the another UE, or between the information of the PRACH resource selected by the UE and the information of the PRACH resource selected by the another UE, after receiving the re-selected preamble which is sent by the UE by using the PRACH resource of the first SCell, the base station may identify a UE corresponding to the re-selected preamble by using the corresponding relationship, perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the random access response message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell. The UE may receive the scheduling information of the random access response message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE, finally receive the random access response message from the PDSCH by using the scheduling information, and may also perform TA adjustment according to a TA value indicated in the random access response message, and then report a message of successfully obtaining the TA value to the base station.

In this embodiment, the UE selects a preamble and a PRACH resource on the first SCell, reports the information of the preamble and the information of the PRACH resource to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE; receives the scheduling information of the conflict indication message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE, then receives the conflict indication message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information, and re-selects a preamble and/or a PRACH resource according to the conflict indication message. In this way, the defect in the prior art is addressed: when the UE performs a contention-based RACH on SCells, if all RACH procedures are implemented on the SCells, the UE needs to monitor the CSSs of the SCells to obtain the scheduling information of the conflict indication messages of the SCells, thereby inevitably increasing times of blind detection and a false alarm probability.

Further, in yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the embodiments shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3, before step 101, step 201 or step 301, the following step may be further included:

receiving, by the UE, a preamble subset which is allowed to be used by the first SCell and notified by the base station, where the preamble subset is a part of preambles divided from a preamble set of the first SCell by the base station.

Accordingly, the selecting, by a UE, a preamble on a first SCell in step 101, step 201 or step 301 may be:

selecting, by the UE, a preamble from the preamble subset on the first SCell.

Further, in yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the embodiments shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3, before step 101, step 201 or step 301, the following step may be further included:

receiving, by the UE, a PRACH resource subset which is allowed to be used by the UE on the first SCell and notified by the base station, where the PRACH resource subset is a part of PRACH resources divided from a PRACH resource set of the first SCell by the base station.

Accordingly, the selecting, by a UE, a PRACH resource on a first SCell in step 101, step 201 or step 301 may be:

selecting, by the UE, a PRACH resource from the PRACH resource subset.

Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the embodiments shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3, before step 101, step 201 or step 301, the following steps may be further included:

receiving, by the UE, a preamble subset which is allowed to be used by the first SCell and notified by the base station, where the preamble subset is a part of preambles divided from a preamble set of the first SCell by the base station; and

receiving, by the UE, a PRACH resource subset which is allowed to be used by the UE on the first SCell and notified by the base station, where the PRACH resource subset is a part of PRACH resources divided from a PRACH resource set of the first SCell by the base station.

Accordingly, the selecting, by a UE, a preamble and a PRACH resource on a first SCell in step 101, step 201 or step 301 may be:

selecting, by the UE, a preamble from the preamble subset on the first SCell, and selecting a PRACH resource from the PRACH resource subset.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a processing method for obtaining synchronization according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the method according to this embodiment includes:

Step 401: A base station receives information of a preamble reported by a UE by using a current PCell or a second SCell of the UE, where the preamble is a preamble selected by the UE on a first SCell.

In this embodiment, the UE may implement the technical solution of the method embodiment shown in FIG. 1, implementation principles thereof are similar to those described above, and details will not be described herein again.

Step 402: The base station performs scrambling for scheduling information of a random access response message or scheduling information of a conflict indication message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and sends it to the UE by using a PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, to enable the UE to receive the random access response message or the conflict indication message from a PDSCH according to the scheduling information.

In this embodiment, after the UE reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell of the UE, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the information of the preamble and the UE; when the UE sends the preamble to the base station by using the first SCell, the base station may identify the UE corresponding to the preamble by using the corresponding relationship, perform scrambling for scheduling information of the random access response message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell. The UE may receive the scheduling information of the random access response message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE, and then the UE receives the random access response message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information of the random access response message.

Alternatively, after the UE reports the information of the preamble to the base station by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, the base station may establish a corresponding relationship between the information of the preamble and the UE, and may also detect whether a conflict occurs between the information of the preamble selected by the UE on the first SCell and information of a preamble selected by another UE. When a conflict occurs, the base station may perform scrambling for the scheduling information of the conflict indication message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and send the scheduling information to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell. The UE may receive the scheduling information of the conflict indication message delivered by the base station from the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the C-RNTI of the UE, and then the UE receives the conflict indication message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information.

The radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE used by the base station may include a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE, or a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE and an RA-RNTI corresponding to the PRACH resource used when the UE sends the preamble.

In this embodiment, the base station receives the information of the preamble reported by the UE by using the current PCell or the second SCell of the UE, performs scrambling for the scheduling information of the random access response message or the scheduling information of the conflict indication message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using the radio network temporary identity corresponding to the UE, and sends it to the UE by using the PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, to enable the UE to receive the random access response message or the conflict indication message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information of the random access response message or the scheduling information of the conflict indication message. In this way, the defect in the prior art is addressed: when the UE performs a contention-based RACH on SCells, if all RACH procedures are implemented on the SCells, the UE needs to monitor the CSSs of the SCells to obtain the scheduling information of the random access response messages or the scheduling information of the conflict indication messages of the SCells, thereby inevitably increasing times of blind detection and a false alarm probability.

Step 502: The base station receives the preamble which is sent by the UE by using the PRACH resource of the first SCell.

Step 503: The base station performs scrambling for scheduling information of a random access response message on the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell by using a C-RNTI corresponding to the UE, and sends it to the UE by using a PDCCH of the PCell, the second SCell or the first SCell, to enable the UE to receive the random access response message from the PDSCH according to the scheduling information; and performs scrambling for the scheduling information of the random access response message on the first SCell by using an RA-RNTI corresponding to the UE, and sends it to the UE by using the PDCCH of the first SCell, to enable the UE to receive the random access response message from the PDSCH of the first SCell according to the scheduling information.

Further, in yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the embodiment shown in the method in FIG. 7, step 704 may have the following four specific implementation manners:

First: When the configuration information is a specific offset value Offset_TA-group corresponding to the TA group to which the first SCell belongs, the UE generates the RA-RNTI by using a formula RA-RNTI=1+t_id+10*f_id+Offset_TA-group, according to the information of the PRACH resource and the received specific offset value Offset_TA-group corresponding to the TA group to which the first SCell belongs which is sent by the base station and corresponding to the first SCell.
